Frederic,

I don't think it matters one bit what he looked like. I couldn't think of anything less important.

As far as the Shroud is concerned, It is hard to use that as proof of anything. The importance and authenticity of the Shroud is still open to debate(I am not saying it is not authentic, just that it has yet to be proven beyond a doubt)

One would think that Jesus would have most likely had a Middle Eastern appearance with dark wavy or kinky hair, and dark eyes and complexion. however as I said before, I can;t think of anything less important than physical appearance.

I mean would Jesus be any more less important if looked like
most artists depiction or he looked like Danny DeVito? Either way, who cares?

Mark

Frederic, I agree that many people have added between the lines, so to speak, to suit their own purposes, concerning Christianity and other religions as well. This is why I focus on the teachings of Jesus Christ. I'm not concerned with rituals made by man which many times have done more harm than good.
